Answer 1

Answer:

7.25 h =  $36.25  is the required expression.

Cat worked 5 hours for the customer as babysitter.

Step-by-step explanation:

The hourly rate paid to cat for babysitting job =  $7.25

Let us assume the number of hours cat worked = h hours

⇒The total amount paid for m working hours to Cat

= h x ( Cost of  working per hour)  = h  x $7.25

= 7.25 h

Also, the amount paid to Cat after h hours  = $36.25

According to question:

7.25 h =  $36.25

or, h  = 36.25 / 7.25 = 5

⇒ h  = 5

Hence, Cat worked 5 hours for the customer as babysitter .
